IAM Roadsmart appoints Antony Kildare as new interim CEO

Independent road safety charity, IAM RoadSmart, has appointed Antony Kildare as its interim chief executive officer (CEO), taking over from Tony Greenidge.

Kildare will lead the organisation, which has around 85,000 members, into a new phase of its strategic direction and growth, it said. 

In November 2021, the charity announced Greenidge had decided to step down after four years with the charity.

Stuart Donald QPM, IAM RoadSmart’s chairman said: “I am delighted to appoint Tony as interim CEO of IAM RoadSmart.

"He will bring strong leadership and a wealth of experience to drive forward over the coming months, while helping to safeguard the future of our charity and, moving forward, our work with our group vounteers and members on a number of UK-wide road safety initiatives."

Commenting on his new appointment, Kildare said: “I’m both delighted and privileged to be join IAM RoadSmart.

"The recent work that everyone at IAM RoadSmart has delivered puts us in a great position to progress further and improve our offer to our current and future membership, while making UK roads safer for us all.

“I look forward to getting to know the team and working with them to deliver the charity’s ambitious strategy, as well as getting out to meet our volunteers and groups and understand their views around road safety in the future.”

Last week, Transport for London (TfL) said that lower speed limits will be introduced on roads across London in an effort to improve safety.
